CryptoQuant's Head of Research, Julio Moreno, stated that Bitcoin micro-transactions involving amounts below 0.01 BTC now account for approximately 80% of daily transactions, up from about 44% in 2023. This growth is primarily driven by on-chain data protocols based on OP_RETURN, such as Runes, Ordinals, BRC-20, and data timestamp services, which generate a large volume of low-value transactions. As a result, Bitcoin network activity continues to heat up, with daily transaction volume surpassing 800,000 and the network activity index reaching its highest level since late 2024, just about 7% below its all-time high. Meanwhile, the number of unconfirmed transactions in Bitcoin's Mempool has risen to around 128,000, the highest level since February 2025.
